On a Bus in England
I got on to a bus in England headed for castles with a few familiar faces and a few that I just met. Two were from France, one from Canada, a handful from the US like myself, and the rest were from the UK. They were all part of my church group so we had that in common but we still were getting to know each other. So there were lags in the convo, and a little looking around the bus trying to grab at a subject we could all talk about. On top of it, it was tough to converse while sitting on a bus in little seats spread out.
So I grabbed my handy notepad and pen out of my bag and explained to them a game called Scribbles. I did get some skeptical looks, and some "she's crazy" looks. But we started playing and sure enough we all started talking up a storm while playing the game. Even though it was one peson at a time "playing", everyone was waiting for the result! There was alot of chatter (teenagers), then they'd reveal their scribble and you heard "Wow", "I didn't even see that", "That's amazing". And even the people who weren't the artists of the group were having a great time and didn't feel under pressure. I think the most memorable part, other than the French Pianist always seeing musical instruments, was the laughter, the bonding, and the great friends I made that day with Scribbles. - Leigh
I'll try to find the scribbles from that day. I might have them still. If not I'll post some from my high school days. It's a great way to pass the class right along.
